Snow capped Mount Kenya, at 5199 m ( 17057 ft), is the highest mountain in Kenya and the second highest in Africa. While Batian, the highest peak, requires technical, skilled climbing ability, Lenana, 4985m, featured in our tour below, can be climbed by ‘scrambling’ and walking. However the climb even to Lenana is generally considered more challenging than sumiting Kilimanjaro. Our tour below uses what is considered the most scenic route – Chogoria.
